Lost in Translation

Anonymous

• Artist Statement

  My piece is a series of short essays and stories exploring cultural disconnect, identity, and their connections with language. Through these fragments of my life, I detail my conflicts with the “language proficiency” section of an application, and why it’s so hard for me to fill out.

  But, at its core, it is also a story of hope, and a reminder of the beauty within our complexities.

• Creative Statement

  Growing up quite shy, writing has always given me a way to express my ideas and emotions in a comfortable medium. My words can seem disconnected out loud, but I’m able to make them fall into place if I spill them out onto the page.
